Club News
Members’ Day Celebration will be taking place at all 6 Official Chapter Pubs SIMULTANEOUSLY on Sunday November 23!
Members will get FREE food and a FREE PINT GLASS with both the Arsenal Philadelphia crest and the badge of your Official Chapter!
All 6 pubs will be taking RSVPs – THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE TO GET THE FREE PINT GLASS IS TO RSVP AND SHOW UP ON THE DAY!!!
RSVPs are FREE for members (the Gunnery reservations will remain at the normal $10 with two drink tickets). If you are bringing non-member guests they can enjoy our members’ buffet for $10 each, or just order off the regular menu.
We will order enough to give every member with an RSVP a glass. Of course we will have a few extra glasses on hand but you are not guaranteed to get one without an RSVP and we will NOT ship these to anyone; they must be picked up ON THE DAY! Any glasses that are not taken by members will be given to the Chapter Pub which will make for some great publicity for our club!
RSVPs open SATURDAY NOVEMBER 8 after the final whistle of our match against Sunderland.
